Perhaps try an older linux kernel, from the same time as the versions of |
20 |
X11 and mesa that you are trying to run. |
21 |
|
22 |
Running a system like this is going to be harder now, though, because |
23 |
the X11 headers were reorganized, and packages which use X11 now depend |
24 |
on the newer headers, which will most likely pull in the new |
25 |
xorg-server. |
